Not simply a subject of aspiration, passion has been deployed as means to build resilience and mend disappointments with our experiences of work. Tracking the rise of passion in nineteenth-century management to trends like gamification, coworking, and unemployment insurance, Hong demonstrates how passion can emerge in instances that would not typically be understood as passionate. Gamification numbs crippling boredom by keeping call center workers in an unthinking, suspensive state, pursuing even the most banal tasks in hope of career advancement. Coworking spaces marketed toward freelancers combat loneliness and disconnection at the precise moment when middle-class sureties are profoundly threatened. Ultimately, Hong argues, the ideal of passionate work sustains a condition of cruel optimism, where passion is offered as the solution for the injustices of contemporary capitalism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Job satisfaction. 650 0 $a Job satisfaction $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Quality of work life. 650 0 $a Social networks. 650 0 $a Self-employed. 650 0 $a Gamification. 650 6 $a Satisfaction au travail. 650 6 $a Satisfaction au travail $x Aspect social. 650 6 $a QualiteÌ de la vie au travail. 650 6 $a ReÌseaux sociaux. 650 6 $a Travailleurs indeÌpendants. 650 6 $a Ludification. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Gamification. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01982781 650 7 $a Job satisfaction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983720 650 7 $a Quality of work life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01085055 650 7 $a Self-employed. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111635 650 7 $a Social networks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122678 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hong, Renyi, 1984- $t Passionate work $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2022 $z 9781478022831 $w (DLC) 2021031439 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20230817010139.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=613361CE3CC311EE8B657E6F2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
